We are delighted to have been informed that All Saints Parish Church have
supported the 2018 Link to Hope Shoebox Appeal.

They have told us that they “Completed 41 boxes in all, 29 for families
and 12 for elderly people. Quite different from doing the operation Christmas
child, it needed a whole new way of working and thinking”.

Link to Hope ask
people to fill a Shoebox for a family – not just a child. Their list
contains items for all family members and includes items such a shower gel/shampoo,
family games, stationary items, gift for mum and dad as well as sweets, soft
toys, hats, scarves etc.

The annual Family Shoebox Appeal has been
running since 1992 and has delivered smiles to thousands of people in Eastern
Europe over the years. They have sent over 800,000 shoeboxes to hundreds of
different locations!
